Revelations of sexual harassment claims involving Fox News keep piling up, with the news Saturday that two additional women who accused star anchor Bill O'Reilly had received settlements — one in 2011 and one just months ago. (Four of the women alleged sexual harassment, it said, and one accused O’Reilly of verbal abuse.) Sexual harassment allegations have been a public problem for Fox News since ousted anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit last July. Ailes has denied all sexual harassment charges made against him. Although the sexual harassment claims have led to a stream of negative stories about Fox News, there has been no affect on the channel’s strong ratings.
